Life is like a roller coaster where you are going up, with sudden twists and turns, possibly throwing up along the way, then immediately going down not knowing what to expect next..
Unless you've ridden that ride before. :)

Of Mice and Men: Project Checkpoint.
In class, we are starting our project for the unit of reading Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. We have a choice of either creating a Power Point slideshow, or a movie trailer. I do not like Power Points and I like to make random videos with my friends at home anyway, so I thought filming a trailer would be really fun. My group will include Ellie and Christina and me, obviously. I'm not gonna lie, that's probably one of the only two things we definitely know about this project. We've also decided who's going to play which character. Ellie doesn't really want to act, but she wants to direct, and we're thinking of her playing some of the workers on the farm anyway such as Candy, Crooks, Carlson, Curley, and Curley's wife. Christina is going to play George, and I guess I'll play Lennie.
Even though our group hasn't discussed much, I have some ideas for the trailer. Scenes I think we should include are George and Lennie walking down to their new job from Weed, and discussing how Lennie shouldn't talk unless authorized by George. I also think we should include them meeting some of the other characters, showing some foreshadowing so viewers may have an idea of what will come when they go see the "actual movie". I am a little worried that we haven't talked too much about filming, and hopefully we can get it done next week before the time we post it. My schedule is a little hectic after school, especially on Monday and Wednesday... and Thursday. So this is one of my concerns, other than uploading the video. I have had some trouble in the past uploading projects like this, and I wouldn't want to see it fail and be disappointed. But I think it will turn out great! These are just some common problems..

Sorry! I haven't had access to a computer until now!

I'm sorry they randomly break into song.

To start off, looking for a video wasn't extremely difficult, but wasn't all that easy, either. I searched for videos with many different relations to the book and even a few lines, but was not successful. Finally, I went to Youtube and searched for literally: Romeo and Juliet. There were many scenes from the actual movie but I decided to choose this video. I know that they mention Shakespeare and how alike Romeo and Juliet they are and that is not encouraged for this assignment, but I think they are similar for different reasons. First of all, I think that Jimmy and Mary Jane act exactly like them- pretty dumb. They are "bubbling with love" like Romeo and Juliet and act foolishly. Also, because they get married very quickly and it all seems pretty sudden. Finally, these two couples are alike because they are clueless about the ending. These people think they'll turn out really 'swell' but like Romeo and Juliet, they could be destined to stay apart from each other..

Romeo and Juliet photo !
Aahhh! I know this picture is heeawg and it doesn't fit, but this reminds me of a scene from Romeo and Juliet. The picture has a guy who reminds me of Romeo, and a girl with a funny hairdo that reminds me of Juliet- they are holding hands and they look like they're in love. This photo looks like the scene after Romeo confesses his love for Juliet, and after seeing she was looking for him, he comes over to her balcony, (or in this case fire escape) and they tell each other how much they're in love. Here's the URL address.... :]
